    See Stade Rennais they are kind of a rubbish club in terms of on the park. They do produce very good players and seem well run, scout well and all that but constantly do nothing in football, pretty much an upper mid table team in France.

    They are a bit of a meh club with a cracking youth set up.

    Shame he left us he could have been part of something really special with us but pure greed took over and off he went.

    Pure greed?? He probably quadrupled his wages! I’d hope if you ever got the chance to do that you wouldn’t be called greedy bud!! Haha

    If he'd left for 10% more he'd be greedy, leaving for 400% more he's wealthy.

    Like Lawell et al wouldn't have pushed the sale through regardless :56:

    Exactly, we got £25 mil for a player who probably now won’t go for more than £10 mil the rest of his career I don’t think (however much I loved him when he was here)

    I honestly would have stayed at Celtic, he left for pure greed and there are plenty of people who would have done the same as him, i and others would not.

    There is only so much money that can make you happy.

    You and I and “plenty of people” are Celtic fans tho mate. The only 2 teams in world football who players could never leave for bigger and better things are Real Madrid and Barca. Players will always leave us

    I honestly can tell you if i was on a the wages that were available to Jota when he was at Celtic i would stay at our beloved club for as long as they wanted me. Celtic is far more than money and also like i said how much money do you need to make you happy?

    Also without doubt Jota could have been part of something very very special at Celtic, in time he could very well severely regret that.

    Anyway our beloved club really is going places now, we are in for massive treats and more this season and the next and the next:50:

    Absolutely can not hold it against him for leaving.
    Went from what 15-20k a week with us to 200k, tax free.

    Folk mention quadruple and 400% it's near 10 times, without paying tax! At his levels that's near 20x his wage.

    Absolutely no thinking needed in that one. Specially from someone who never grew up here and isn't a boyhood fan.

    My hope, if he finds that his ability and level can't go higher, then maybe he opens himself back up to coming "home" to us in the near future (and not as a last swansong). But often that's never the case.

    I’d play for Celtic for free mate! Haha I’m actually glad Jota left because we’d never had gone for Kuhn and I actually think he suits our style of play much much better. Loved Jota but times change and we move on. Plus he’s an old boy at 26 now :84: if only Messi, Ronaldo, Puyol, Ramos, etc. were all Celtic fans too hahah

    Won’t lie, I would be off for the kinda money on the table. It’s the opportunity to give your family real multi-generational wealth.
